All you need to maintain a trademark registration in most countries is continuous use in commerce. Squaresoft and Enix sold a lot of games back in the day that are still probably in the market through virtual consoles and the like. That's enough to keep the registration alive.

It just seems weird to someone with no law enforcement experience. My first reaction to your comment was: "really, someone can just say that they were mugged, and if they appear to be an upstanding citizen, their word alone is enough to convict?". See, this doesn't sound fair to a layperson. Our gut reaction is "No…

Way back in the day, there use to be special rules for rape. One of those rules was that a woman's testimony alone was legally insufficient to support a rape charge. She had to be corroborated.

How about we just look at this from a practical standpoint.

Important life tip: In most places, an engagement ring is what's called a "conditional gift." If you break up before the wedding (but not after), most courts will force you to give the ring back.

Expected problems just from watching the trailer:

Agreed, especially since there isn't a whole lot of strategy to the end-game. You simply complete the preceding missions, and then complete the final mission, and you're done.

Only 50% of the enjoyment of Dark Souls is its punishing difficulty. The rest is the slow-burn story that makes you want to explore the world and learn more about it.

When I write a contract, I type it up in Microsoft Word. At the bottom of the document, while still in word, I type, /s/ Multi-Carnie, and that is my signature. Save as a PDF and send via email. Bam. Done. If I want to be fancy, I have a PNG image of my signature on a transparent background. I paste it into a…

The law has already caught up with this. However, people have not caught up to the fact that the law has already caught up, which leads to the mistaken impression in many people that you can only fax a legal document, you can't scan and email it (or even digitally sign it and never print it in the first place).

But, to suggest that a girl who has had two drinks is incapable of saying "no" is ludicrous.

Delivery drivers in the U.S. frequently don't give a shit and tipping doesn't change that. It might matter if tips were rationally related to the driver's performance, but they're not. Good people will still generally tip a bad driver fairly, and crappy people will still stiff a driver even if he's missing his…

Transformers are heroic. G.I. Joe is heroic. The Ninja Turtles are heroic. But all of them struggle to bring 80s-90s heroes to the modern adult world.

The Avengers is the same kids stuff, if not for our generation then the generation before us.

There's been a weird, interesting transition in conservative rhetoric on abortion in the last years or so.

Few notes:

In other words, "I didn't know what I was doing" can be a legitimate legal defense.

Not really. If he needs to resort to expensive, extravagant means to attract a girl, he runs the risk of confusing the girl's interest in the means with her interest in him. They're not the same thing. If you offer a girl a brand new sports car in exchange for a date, you might get a date, but you can't act…

Some commenters, however, thought a game like this could exist. "This is too creepy," wrote one 2ch user. Creepy, maybe, but as you can see, the image is chock full of anime memes.

Smart money: this is a simple, gunpowder pipe bomb made by a guy with no practical experience or training, except from Hollywood.
